A Mindful Doctor on Humility

Humility
is a value I admire in others, and is something I would like to develop more in
myself.

To
start with I need to learn to cast off the cloak of arrogance and glamour, and
be content with being a nobody. Only then I will truly be free to be my true
self.

I
can remember my father saying to me as a child, ‘Stop showing off.’ He meant the sort of pride which boasts of
ones own achievements, which is really the opposite of the virtue of humility.
Yet to have pride in my achievements, and even celebrate them, enhances my self
esteem. I can do that with humility by
acknowledging others that have contributed to any success. Going forward I have no need to identify with
my past achievements or positions held.

If
I act with the right intention and use my talents and gifts without concern for
praise or reward, any self importance and arrogance will be minimal.

I
recently came across some useful guidelines for practising humility which I am
going to try and follow.
